Scott Peterich, from the forest service said by Monday night the fire, dubbed Saber Tooth, was 40 percent contained. There was no word on what started the fire.

Peterich said there were at least three brush fires in Miami-Dade over the weekend because of the weather conditions — low humidity and high winds. Thousands of acres of Everglades National Park burned over the weekend because of wildfires.

“People have to be very careful because if a fire starts, it’s going to spread very fast,” he said.
